Sailor Jerry revolutionized the world of tattooing by combining vivid colors, bold iconography, and a deep artistic vision. His influence, shaped by his direct learning from Japanese tattoo masters, laid the foundation for old-school tattoos, a style that remains popular in tattoo shops today. At Family Business Tattoo in San Diego, our skilled tattoo artists carry on this legacy, creating iconic old-school tattoos that resonate with personal significance. Lady head tattoos often symbolize beauty, femininity, or good luck. Swallow tattoos, beyond marking a sailor’s 5,000-mile journey, signify the hope of returning home. Anchors, representing stability, are perfect symbols of security for sailors at sea. This fusion of meaning and artistry is at the heart of what makes our tattoo shop a place where classic designs and personal expression come together beautifully.
